GQ names New England Patriots QB Tom Brady ‘Man of the Year’
“I try to eat healthy”, the 38-year-old football star said.
Brady’s cover is accompanied by an article by Chuck Klosterman titled, “Tom Brady Is The Greatest Quarterback Of All Time”.

GQ is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its “Man of the Year” this year, so it’s only fitting they tabbed Tom Brady to grace the cover. Brady says, when asked about the Wells report, “I don’t really wanna talk about stuff like this”. And somehow, inexplicably, impossibly, make him even more photogenic.
‘Like, I think the great part about what I do is that there’s a scoreboard. See you in a few hours.
True to his word, Klosterman’s profile can be distilled to this: Brady’s refusal to answer his questions is a sign of guilt. At the end of every week, you know how you did. There’s a tangible score. If there were, everyone would choose the right answers. You know how well you prepared. I ask him if this means Trump cheats, as it’s hard to imagine how someone could always win, particularly since Golf Digest estimates Brady’s handicap as an 8. The story doesn’t feature a whole lot of quotes from the Patriots quarterback, but as you’ll find out when you read it, that was largely because Brady didn’t want to have anything to do with Klosterman’s Deflategate-related questions.
“I don’t really care how the Patriots are perceived, truthfully”, he said.
Brady did, though, answer a question about whether or not he feels what has happened over the last eight months has changed how the Patriots are perceived. It’s something that – obviously I wish that we were talking about something different. While Brady may be the most popular person in MA and have the top selling jersey in the National Football League, the Patriots QB has approximately zero interest in entering the political realm. But like I said, it’s still going on right now.
Klosterman: I don’t think you have, really.
